because.

In an instant, the world and space before my eyes transformed into a very strange environment.

It's like those prisms in a haunted house... scattered between the sky and the earth.

Through those prisms, Ling could only see her own reflection.

…infinite, spreading.

But that was just the beginning.

Upon arriving in this space, what greeted me was—

"What...what is this?!"

As she looked at her reflection constantly appearing in the mirror-like environment around her, a chilling feeling instantly filled Rin's heart.

The girl gritted her teeth and then threw countless flying knives at the mirror in the space.

however.

"oops."

All the reflections in those mirrors were reaching out their hands.

The bell, formed from the reflection, caught the throwing knife she had thrown.

The instant they caught the throwing knife, they all transformed into pure white bodies.

And, pairs of scarlet eyes.

"Is this the limit of space that you can control?"

They laughed in unison.

All of them looked at the direction of the bell with strange expressions, and then took a step forward.

"But that's not your fault."

Crack—it sounded like something breaking.

It was only when Ling looked directly ahead that he realized what was happening.

That would mean the mirror in front of us would be completely shattered.

"After all, this place is no longer the common sense and world that you can understand."

boom--! ! !

"Wow——!!"

A violent storm, accompanied by shattered glass shards, blew Bell's body away.

And right there in the center, Ling saw it.

Countless pure white figures converged on a single point.

And what they ultimately coalesced into was a human figure.

A young man with brown hair dressed in high-end clothing.

From behind him, six pure white wings shone with a pure white light.

It was as if an angel had descended to earth, making people feel holy and radiant.

Upon seeing the two people who suddenly appeared, Accelerator's expression immediately turned somewhat displeased.

"What are those two annoying guys doing here?"

"Offensive? That should be my line, buddy."

Izayoi Sakamaki landed to Accelerator's left, while Teitoku Kakine lightly flapped his wings and stood to his right.

Izayoi Sakamaki's face was full of displeasure.

"Where is that demon king? Didn't I tell you to save some of the main course for me? Look at what you've done! What am I supposed to do now?!"

"Who cares about you? Besides, using that kind of low-quality stuff as the main dish already proves that you're not very valuable."

"Oh dear, so in the end, is this all you can actually get your hands on?"

Izayoi Sakamaki and Teitoku Kakine were both spreading the word.

"Your Highness...those two people!"

Bell rushed to His Highness's side, her expression immediately turning somewhat flustered.

Even having only one person allowed to pass at a time is already an unparalleled problem.

Not to mention, there are two more characters here who are just as troublesome as him.

Moreover.

His Highness glanced at Izayoi Sakamaki secretly, then narrowed his eyes.

"Looks like it hasn't awakened yet..."

"Huh? Are you talking to me? Speaking of which, that spotted loli demon king has been dealt with, and I'm extremely displeased right now."

As she spoke, Izayoi Sakamaki clasped her hands together.

"Young man over there, you seem to be addressed as His Highness?"

"Thank you for your expectations, Izayoi Sakamaki... a new member of 'NoName', and over there, a man whose identity I don't know."

Accelerator, under the supervision of Emperor Gage, returned to Izayoi.

Even one of the three alone would be a formidable opponent that His Highness and Ling could not easily handle, let alone facing all three of them at this moment.

In fact, he never intended to confront these people head-on; at most, he just wanted to test the waters a bit.

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay here any longer.

"bell."

His Highness pulled the bell behind him, while he himself chuckled and raised his hands.

"Let's get ready to leave. We have important things to do."

"Eh... are you sure it's okay if we can't retrieve little Pest?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it, and it's not something particularly important... well, at least it can't delay our next steps."

Even a fool could see what they were planning to do from this scene.

"It's really interesting."

Even Kakine Teitoku couldn't help but sneer.

"You don't actually think you still have a chance to escape, do you?"

"Oh, it seems I've been underestimated."

His Highness stretched out his hand, completely contrary to the previous situation, and began to provoke the three of them.

"You are welcome to try and see if you can stop us from leaving here."

then.

The instant those words were spoken, an explosive burst of white light swept over everything.

boom! ! !

The light, formed from primordial matter, swept straight towards them with the power to slaughter everything in an instant.

"Haha, thanks for your provocation, it's made me even more interested!"

Meanwhile, Izayoi Sakamaki laughed heartily and charged forward at top speed.

Either way, it was an attack that His Highness and Rin should have been unable to withstand.

That's right.

If we speak in the conventional sense...

"Humph."

The light of the primordial matter can penetrate one's physical body in an instant and return to nothingness.

But His Highness showed no fear whatsoever.

He even threw a left punch straight at him from the front.

Bang——! !

Something that was otherwise impossible has happened.

An attack capable of piercing even a planet was instantly neutralized by His Highness's straight punch.

"—!!"

The moment he realized this, Izayoi Sakamaki immediately became more alert.

But by then it was too late.

His Highness's body began to shimmer with an eerie, multicolored light. As the light flashed, his hands simultaneously coalesced into a power that could even surpass the rules themselves.

but.

That punch, in the instant it was about to strike Izayoi Sakamaki, was directly hit by a blow from the other side.

It was Accelerator that was approaching at an overwhelming speed.

boom----! ! ! !

The two men's fists were pressed together.

Something unknown clashed with each other, and then the purplish-black lightning that belonged to an absolute power user dissipated almost instantly upon contact with His Highness's punch. At the same time, Accelerator began to truly feel that his reflexes had taken effect.

despite this.

His Highness's fist remained unmoved, stubbornly withstanding the reflected force as it hurtled towards him.

Boom! !

Izayoi Sakamaki raised her fist, channeling all her power into a single, devastating blow, which she aimed directly at the prince's head.

"Well--"

Even the aftershocks caused the atmosphere to vibrate instantly.

The moment he was hit, His Highness felt a suffocating pain in his left eye.

This caused his arm, which had almost broken free of reflexes, to twist as well.

And at this moment.

Accelerator clenched his left fist, converging all his vectors into a deadly impact.

It strikes straight at His Highness's heart.

"Pfft—whoa!"

Immediately, His Highness spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was thrown out like a missile. In that instant, all the blood and bio-currents in his body were mobilized.

despite this.

The moment His Highness was sent flying, he vanished from the spot without warning.

Along with it, the figure of Bian Ling also disappeared.

"What happened to that kid just now?"

Izayoi Sakamaki stood still, looking up at the sky directly in front of her.

After that powerful straight punch, he forcibly split all the clouds in the sky in two.

If it had been a direct hit like that, that brat called Your Highness would probably have had no chance of surviving.

"That guy isn't dead yet."

Accelerator, who had direct physical contact with him, said the following.

He squinted and slowly looked at his hands.

An unnatural energy flowed around his fingertips.

"...So, that kid wasn't using ordinary power at all?"
